Hell I have had something on my mind that I have wanted to share for quite some time now. I want to warn you that this message is not for the faint of heart, but is something that is very true and the reality of it will sink in one day for all of us. But, if you aren’t ready to hear about the truth of eternity, STOP READING NOW. There have been 4 things in the past few weeks that have reminded me of the truth of the fact that all of us will spend eternity in either one of two places – either in heaven with Jesus or apart from him in the agony of HELL. God’s will is that none of us spend eternity in hell, but he knows that many people will because of the bad choices they make. He gives us the choice to chose how we will live our lives and as a result, where we will spend eternity. In Deuteronomy 30:15-19, he tells us to either choose life and prosperity or death and destruction. And he reminds us that we choose by the way we live our lives. Are you living a life that is showing that you choose to live in heaven with Jesus? Each of us needs to examine our lives and determine what is true concerning this question. We have to count the cost and decide if we think it’s worth it to live the way Christ wants us to live and outlines in the Bible. Sadly, many people are not going to live up to his standards and will end up burning in hell. I said earlier there were 4 things that made me think of the urgency of spreading this warning to people: 1. A few weeks ago I heard one of my favorite authors – John Beveere, talk about his book “Driven by Eternity”. In the book he talks about the decisions that we each have to make in this life that will determine where we will spend our eternity. It’s a challenging book that is full of scriptures that will help us make wise choices concerning our eternity. 2. I heard a local pastor preach on TV about how terrible hell is going to be. He painted the picture of the pain, suffering, agony, and torment that will happen in hell. He challenged everyone to warn all everyone they know about such a place and inform them of what they can do to avoid going there. 3. I recently read a book called “23 Minutes in Hell” by Bill Wiese. In this book he tells the story of how terrible hell is going to be based on a vision God gave him in a trip to hell. His warning is for everyone to avoid it. 4. A couple of days ago I saw a video clip on the internet that sends a chilling message to avoid going to hell. Here is the link to see the video: http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=1b5bd6e3e034d00b4f73 All of us need to realize the reality of hell and make sure we are living our lives in a way that will ensure we avoid it. Jesus wants us to spend eternity with him and died on the cross so that we can have the opportunity to receive a pardon for our sins, thus giving us the opportunity to live with him forever in heaven. We have to choose to make it to heaven by the way we live our lives. As well, we have a responsibility to help other people make this choice as well. Jesus tells us in Matt 28:19-20 to go everywhere and make more disciples in his name, teaching them to OBEY everything he has told us to do. Make it happen!
